Rule of Thirds

I chose these two pictures for my rule of thirds because the both take up 2 thirds. All though Ryan's picture takes up only one third but it is still the same format and follows the rule of thirds.From my understanding of the website article I learned that the rule of thirds takes up two thirds or one the third of the camera when you are shooting.The rule of thirds does not mean to cut of some parts of the subjects. Today in some of our cameras the is a button for the rule of thirds.When you shoot using the rule of thirds you need to shoot from waist to the head or the whole body. In the olden times I think the imagined two thirds of the camera and took the shoot using the eyes.So I totally agree with the article.I also think in our class we might use it some times.
